Believe it or not, Melanie and Spencer planned their summer Starved Rock State Park elopement in a matter of weeks. I first met these two in late February at one of our mutual favorite coffee shops in Logan Square. Shortly after then, it was clear that their original wedding plans would need to be altered. […]

Planning a wedding long-distance is not the easiest thing to do, especially when COVID changes your plans completely! In August, Taylor and Luke flew from Los Angeles to Chicago to wed “in global sickness and in health” (their words). Believe it or not, their Illinois country club wedding was planned in a matter of weeks! […]

At the beginning of August, I got to hang out with Brigette and Michael for their awesome downtown Chicago engagement session! I first met these two over Zoom while they were quarantining in Colorado, and was so excited to finally say hello face to face. Lucky for me, I got to meet their happy pup […]

It may be hard to believe, but Caitlin and Brett’s gorgeous July wedding at Sunset Ridge Country Club was not the event they had originally planned. Like so many 2020 newlyweds-to-be, they postponed their larger wedding celebration to allow their friends and family to gather safely. Lucky for them: they were able to get married […]

Last month, I finally got to hang out with Minal and Drew for their Chicago Indian wedding photos. To say I was excited would be an understatement! After making the decision to cancel the multi-day June wedding they’d been planning, we waited patiently to determine what was next. These two knew they wanted to be […]

Like so many engaged couples, Jenny and Michael made the difficult decision to postpone their 2020 wedding plans in the face of COVID-19. Also like many couples, they decided to still be legally wed this year! Their Chicago City Hall elopement was the perfect solution. Jenny’s words: “We have basically decided that we are tired […]

Earlier this month, I got to spend the evening with Angie and Mike for their dreamy Humboldt Park engagement session. There’s no denying these two are adorable together… this session was such a breeze! I’ve known Angie for years and was beyond thrilled when she and Mike became engaged last December. So much happiness here, […]

Libby and Avi’s Lakeview neighborhood engagement session last month was such a blast! These two got engaged on Leap Day at the Lincoln Park Conservatory, and then moved in together shortly afterward. Of course, that also means Chicago’s Stay at Home Order was implemented around the same time. Consequently, Libby and Avi began to spend […]

Claire and Mark’s romantic summer engagement session was one my first sessions since March. As you can imagine, I couldn’t have been more excited to be pick up my camera again! We met at their West Loop home on a gorgeous June evening, perfect weather for photos. After a stroll around the block with adorable […]

I will never forget Caitlin and Brett’s Lincoln Square engagement session. After months of staying at home, and countless postponed weddings and sessions, I was beyond excited to pick up my camera again! Caitlin and Brett were the first couple I got to photograph since March. Besides a few minor adjustments (i.e. my first masked […]
